Peanut Butter and Chocolate Combo
This tasty duo will satisfy even the most voracious sweet tooth. Melt
a bar of dark chocolate and mix it into a jar of organic peanut butter.
Leave it in the fridge so that it cools and the flavors blend. When a
sugar craving strikes, have a spoon. One spoonful has 4.5 grams of
sugar. Compare this to your average brownie with a whopping 30 grams of
sugar, and you’re well on your way to shaking your sugar habit in
healthy ways you never thought possible!

Dr. Oz bean burger!
Ingredients
Serves 2
1/4 cup raw sunflower seeds
2 cups cooked or canned red or pink beans, no-salt-added or low-sodium, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup minced onion
2 tbsp low sodium ketchup
1 tbsp wheat germ or old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 tsp chili powder
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a baking sheet with a little olive oil on a paper towel.
Chop the sunflower seeds in a food processor or with a hand chopper. Mash the beans in the food processor or with a potato masher and mix with the sunflower seeds. Mix in the remaining ingredients and form into two patties.
Place the patties on the baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, until you can pick up each patty and compress it firmly in your hands to re-form the burger. Return the patties to the baking sheet, bottom side up, and bake for another 10 minutes.
If desired, these may be done on a grill. Serve on small whole grain pitas or buns with lettuce, tomato and chopped red onion or on a bed of lettuce with tomato and chopped red onion.

Decorating!
Check out this before and after. The color needed to change because they were moving and needed to make the space a little more neutral. I found this on pinterest and there was no blog attached to the pin, so I can't give the blogger credit but I love how much more neutral it became, even with BLUE! And yes, the window treatments and blinds moved higher definitely makes the space seem larger. Isn't it beautiful?
